Ghost Post #1

Readers have been dropping off their dilemmas and guilty (or not!) confessions over the past couple of weeks, so here is the first of an occasional post, where we ask you, our lovely readers, to offer advice, sympathy, and occasional applause! 

My first reader would really appreciate some advice on how to handle the inlaws since her third child was born. Situations like this are becoming more and more common in our society, as 'blended families' arise due to new relationships, but there isn't always a rule book on how to handle it, particularly where the 'step inlaws' are concerned:

 "I have a dilemma for your readers. I have two older children and then married and had a child with my hubby. His family who didnt buy my older children now buy our baby for birthdays and christmas. ive spoke to hubby suggesting he should speak to them but he wont because he says its because shes a baby shes being spoiled, but its really upsetting that my two children arent being treated the same. They are teenagers now but were 7 and 8 when we got together. Fell free to get me some suggested solutions .... i need all the help i can get before i blow my fuse at them lol  step families !!! arrgghhh"

Reader number 2 is struggling with the dreaded teens. Emotions run high at this age and, as the younger sister with the same age gap, I can only sympathise! 

"Ok heres a rant- why did no one warn me about young teenage moods, scream and shouts ,puberty has a lot to answer for. If I am not trying to get my voice heard over the rows between a 15 year old boy and his sister a 13 year old girl, I am mopping up tears and calming down situations that flare up over things as little as a biscuit.
I aparantley am to solely to blame if some one can't find their other sock or haven't done all of their homework . Two lots of neighbours have moved out. I don't think its us that has caused it but I would not blame them if it was."

Your comments and advice, on either of these situations would be very much appreciated. You can comment below or, if you would prefer to remain anonymous, you can private message me here. 

On a lighter note, some interesting confessions have been submitted, which I thought it was in the public interest to share... 

"I have a confession to make! My last boyfriend decided that he liked my best friend more than he did me. So as revenge is a dish best served cold. I filled his posh designer work shoes with mushroom soup and filled the pockets of his swanky suit with tar tar sauce. Needless to say I think he has learnt his lesson as he was very embarrassed when he took his fishy suit to the dry cleaners. Hahahaha  Hahahaha"

"Hi - I have a confession - it is September 28th and I am already singing along to Christmas songs when they appear on my ipod!"

"i peed in a country lane once,,,,, on a bend i was rather ahem tipsy. It was a lane so quiet i thought!.... so had a pee..... mid squat headlights on my fat bum! Cue all my mates roaring at me flashing my full moon lol!"
